Program Notes
Dave Hollinden's third percussion quartet, Locomotion, is set in four movements – Procession, Sleep Walk, Dance, and Race. The work uses a large assortment of non-pitched instruments (both found and traditional), such as cast iron skillets, flower pots, boos and graduated drums. It was commissioned by Listen! Percussion Group (Jon Brown, Paul Owen, Joshua Graham, Darren Lin) and Ad Astra Percussion (Von Hansen, Luke Dull, Tai-Jung Tsai, Mai Tadokoro) in 2012.
